There’s already Wordle, Lewdle, Vertl (Yiddish Wordle), Quordle (four Wordles at once), Absurdle, Spanish Wordle, and a slew of other variations, but the internet has set out to milk this Wordle cow until it’s absolutely bone dry. To the delight of shape rotators everywhere, there’s now a variation that uses numbers instead of letters. Just like Wordle, Nerdle gives you six guesses. But instead of figuring out a word, you’re looking for an 8-character math equation. It’s challenging enough to be interesting but easy enough to be appetizing, and I like it very much. It’s also not owned by the New York Times.
